Celtic fan groups oppose Robbie Keane's appointment as manager

Several Celtic supporter groups have issued a joint statement expressing opposition to the possible appointment of Robbie Keane as manager of the Scottish top-flight club. The main reason cited is the Irish footballer's previous work as manager of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Several Celtic supporter groups have issued a joint statement expressing clear opposition to the possibility of appointing Robbie Keane as manager of Scottish top club Celtic. Fan organisations are basing their stance on the fact that Keane previously worked as manager of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Former Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane has featured among the candidates for Celtic's next manager. However, part of the club's supporter base has shown clear hostility towards his possible appointment, citing his connection to Israeli football against the backdrop of the current geopolitical situation.

Celtic FC has longstanding ties to the Irish-Scottish community, which is why the reactions of fan groups are important to club management. The club has not yet made an official decision on the managerial position.
